There is a week in October when the mower comes off the trailer for the last time and the plow goes on the truck, and the whole year changes direction. C&C Land Solutions LLC keeps both halves in Sandusky — mowing, trimming and cleanups while the grass is still asking for it, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the wind starts pushing snow across the open sections. In the Thumb a storm doesn't only fall, it travels sideways, and a drive that was clear at midnight can be filled by the time the first car turns onto M-46. Getting out ahead of that is the whole point of the work. Sandusky, Croswell, Peck and the farms in between are on the route.
